For those wanting an FAA ATP now is the time..
An ICAO CPL or ATPL is also one of the acceptable prerequisites to do the flight test ie you don't have to have an FAA CPL if you have an ICAO equivalent or higher.

Just a thought. Is it possible that this is in preparation for a reciprocity strike against the EASA requirements for dual licensing?. The FAA have been far to quiet about that stupid ruling for my liking.

Hi all,

I appreciate much your comments,

Hi Guys,
Do you all understand like me that you don't even need a current FAA medical to take the written exam?
Also since you don't need an endorsement, can I just contact any test center and arrange with them to take the exam?
Regards!

No medical required for the theory exam ('written') but at least a Class 3 for the flight test ('checkride'). No instructor sign off required to do the written nor the checkride - unless you fail then you need an instructor to recommend you for a re-do.

Hi Guys, ok here's my situation. I've just sat and passed the FAA written exams. I have an EASA licence and a B737 300-900 TR attached which is current etc. I have over 1500 hours TT with over 1300hrs on the 738. My understanding is, all I have to do is go through the licence verification process etc and then do a FAA 737 Type Rating and during my LST they do the ATP check ride all in one thus giving me a FAA ATP licence with a 737 Type attached. I've been advise no check in an actual plane of any sort is required.
Is the above correct?

I did my FAA ATP rating earlier this year as a "prior experience" course based on my EASA ATPL with G-V type rating; I did the written then took the FAA checkride in the Gulfstream sim right after my planned EASA OPC/LPC. That was several months ago but I'm still waiting for the certificate, I guess they are a bit busy!! No medical required if taking a checkride in a sim!
Mutt, with your hours on the 73 I'm sure you would qualify for the "prior experience" course; check it out!
